STOLEN ANCHORS,

RECENT PIRACIES

RECALLED.

Recent piracies in which the theft of anchors appeared to have been the sole motive wore recalled by a) case at the Central Magistracy yos larday afternoon, when the masters) of three trade junks wore charged with receiving stolen goods-to wit four anchors belonging to the Loe Yick Company-a concern which is engaged in the disposal of the Colony's nightscil

The charge came as a sequel to

n visit to Pangehow, near Cheung Chau Island, by a European polico oficer, who in the course of a search found the four anchors in question) on three junks. The mastore of these vessels were arrested

In the courao of the evidence it was shown that no less than 70 an- chors had been stolen within recent months from the Leo Yick foot. They are valued at 850 each, and it was alleged in the present case that the defendants received these

from the pirates on the payment of
